  This is an exciting and innovative project which was born on the Isle of Skye. Native Scots, expats and lovers of Scotland and knitting/crochet are invited to participate in crafting panels to be displayed on the Skye Bridge. These will eventually be auctioned and the proceeds will go to charity. Methinks would be a great focus project for knitting groups etc.
